RECLINING LIONS support the four corners of the 11th-century B.C.E. stone sarcophagus of King Ahiram of Byblos, now in the Beirut Museum. Reliefs on the side panels depict a funerary banquet in which attendants stack cups and dishes on the offering table before the king who sits at left, enthroned on sphinxes.
